It is common for ribs to break when CPR is being performed. It doesn’t happen in all situations, but it is a normal occurrence that you should be prepared for. So if you find yourself hesitant to perform CPR because you are worried that you might break a rib, be prepared for other options. If you do happen to break a rib, you may quite possibly at the same time save a life.
